SUMMARY:Recognizing the Good: Writing Jewish Prayers and Poems of Gratitude
DESCRIPTION:April 17\, 24\, May 1\, 8\, 15\, 22\, 2023\n12:00–1:30 p.m. EST \nJudaism offers many opportunities to express gratitude\, from the morning blessing Modeh Ani to Shabbat and holidays. To inspire poetic and liturgical writing\, join us for a deep dive into the Jewish language of gratitude – hakarat hatov. Among our explorations: gratitude as a spiritual practice; hidden meanings in the language of gratitude; language that undermines gratitude; and the connection between prayer and gratitude. We’ll learn together and write from the heart. \n \nAlden Solovy spreads joy and excitement for prayer. An American Israeli liturgist\, lyricist\, poet\, author\, and educator\, Alden is the Liturgist-in-Residence for the Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies. Alden teaches prayer and spirituality throughout the world. Based in Jerusalem\, his six solo books include These Words: Poetic Midrash on the Langauge of Torah\,This Grateful Heart: Psalms and Prayers for a New Day\, This Joyous Soul: A New Voice for Ancient Yearnings\, and This Precious Life: Encountering the Divine with Poetry and Prayer\, all published by CCAR Press. A regular contributor to Ritualwell and a member of the Ritualwell Immersion faculty\, his work is anthologized in more than 20 other volumes across the religious spectrum. Alden also contributes regularly to RavBlog\, ReformJudaism.org\, and the Times of Israel. He’s a three-time winner of the Peter Lisagor Award for Exemplary Journalism. Alden made aliyah to Jerusalem in 2012. See his work at www.tobendlight.com. Alden can be reached at alden@tobendlight.com. \n  \nAll sessions will be recorded and sent to participants.

SUMMARY:Reclaiming the Hebrew Goddess & Writing Her Anew
DESCRIPTION:April 20\, 27\, May 4\, 11\, 18\, June 1\, 2023\n12:00–1:30 p.m. EST \nFor thousands of years before patriarchal monotheism took hold\, our ancestors worshipped the Divine Feminine. In this immersion\, we will take a deep dive into the legacy of the Hebrew goddess\, from her ancient biblical and Near Eastern roots to her demise at the hands of our prophets and scribes\, from her reemergence in mystical Judaism to her manifestations in Judaism today. Discover where her secrets are hidden and reclaim her for your own\, for the earth\, and for the generations to come. We will engage in thoughtful reflection and inspired creative writing with guided writing prompts. Join gynocentric Torah scholar\, creative writing professor\, and student rabbi Sivan Rotholz as we harvest the bounty of the Divine Feminine in Jewish tradition. No previous creative writing experience or knowledge of the goddess required. \nSivan Rotholz is a professor of gynocentric Torah and creative writing. She has taught at Brooklyn College\, Tel Aviv University\, Columbia/Barnard Hillel\, Moishe House\, and elsewhere\, and has shared her Torah in synagogues and living rooms across the globe. Her writing has appeared in the Jewish Journal\, 929\, and Ritualwell\, among other publications. She is the Education Director for Achayot – Jewish Women Writers\, and is pursuing rabbinic ordination from Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion. \n  \nAll sessions will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.
